I really enjoyed watching this movie. There were many great scenes, many great lines, and development in relationships. Somethings were a little cliche, but when looking at everything I actually liked about the movie, they become less of a problem, and not that noticable to me. There are parts I wished I could get to know more about, some of the relationships which were ended too quickly, so that I didn't get real closure as a viewer, but overall this is a movie I would recommend to any girl, or for that matter, boy, who wants to think a little about the gender roles in our society, how far it as come. And also, to do some evaluation while watching or after, if these gender roles still apply in some cases, and how we're still obsessed with fitting into what society wants us to be. No matter what gender, there's more equality between sexes now, but both men and women (and those who are genderfluid/or don't conform to any gender) still have a role that we play, maybe more subconsciously than we'd like to admit. But when given the chance, like after watching this movie, we can look closer at our own society today, and see if there are changes we need to make. This is truly an inspirational art, if you're just open to finding out what the movie can mean to you.

Of course critics will slaughter it, because it both has cliches and can be rather odd(not too hollywood) at times, but these are the ones who don't have the time, or give their time, to find out what something might mean to them. Everything that we experience has the chance to educate us in some way, to expand our thinking, if we just let it. I pity those who don't give things a chance, and judge without thinking something through, no matter it be a movie or a person.

Overall, just watch it if you're an openminded spirit like me, if you're someone who don't like to think for themselves however, this movie will bore you, because it tries to make YOU think.
